TSE:5842
Three Integral-linked funds that held 85% of interior-fit-out maker Oliver's votes fell to zero percent on its Tokyo Standard market debut, though millions of shares remain on loan to Nomura until mid-October and Oliver is guiding for an 8.5% revenue rise with a 70% payout ratio this year.
Integral's buyout vehicle has launched a ¥2,514-a-share tender offer for Kadoya Sesame Mills, Japan's leading sesame-oil maker, but the final payout to shareholders depends on whether Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsui & Co., which together hold nearly half the stock, agree to exit through a separate share buyback rather than tendering, an arrangement that could lift the price as high as ¥2,760.
Two completed exits, including the sale of M&I and Toyo Engineering, generated realized carried interest that pushed Integral's half-year profit to ¥8.77bn from ¥1.70bn a year earlier, its regulatory filing shows.
